I could NOT care less about...

Bill and Shelli's relationship. I have to fast forward any scenes that involve just the two of them. Please drop the story line. It adds nothing and loses my attention. No one cares. Get back to the music.

Yeah but stop with the 'song of the day' crap. That *beep* ruins everything about the show. 'oh hey, here's a little impromptu marketing for this really hip pop band you never heard about yet thanks to us. Listen to this for 5 minutes and we'll get back to our regular scheduled programming'.

Ugh... agree!! I feel like that bit just tries way too hard to be "deep" and a "signature" thing for the show... Recurring bits like that have to come naturally within the show. Here, it's just...awkward and comes off as a commercial (marketing, as you've mentioned). And I feel like it always comes out of nowhere...in a bad way.

I suck at remembering names, is that the storyline with Imogen Poots and the English accountant, or whatever the *beep* is his job? They have 0 chemestry. It was a forced relationship. The dialogue of her never having sex sober and wanting him to be his firs was *beep* cringy

If I don't reply, you're probably on my ignore list for something I forgot already

No, I was referring to the 2 main characters (Luke Wilson and whoever that woman is...who also happens to be married...and still no one cares haha).

And I agree with you about the brit and Poots' character. It seems incredibly forced. She always looks pissed off and miserable, even her facial expressions are depressing. The British guy on the other hand is supposed to be...wait, what exactly is his job?? Ugh. But he's kind of a doofus and acts clueless all the time in a dumb kid kind of way, yet they're trying to pair him up with that depressing woman? They just need to drop the romantic aspect ALL together. It's not working.

It's so weird because Poots and the bearded guy would be such a better match. Personality wise they're like peanut butter and jelly.

Couldn't agree anymore with the lameness of the forced relationships. I can buy the relationship between Bill and Shelli, but it's so boring and I don't care about it.

However, Kelli Ann and Reg is beyond ridiculous and I don't buy it at all. They don't go, there's no chemistry (previously mentioned), their personalities don't match. It was basically love at first sight for those two and all the roadies easily spotted it as well? There's no evidence of a budding relationship between them. It's definitely forced...like a lot of things on this show.

I also find the superstitions and Puna super dumb.

I find myself constantly rolling my eyes while watching this show, but I still watch it. It's more difficult to figure out what I like about the show compared to what I dislike.

I enjoy the music and...umm...why am I watching this show again?

Well, you took the time to start a thread and return multiple times to comment on it, so technically, you could care less.
